As shown in the image above, the in-game description of the homeworld states that it is considered one of the ‘second worlds’ of the entire Moebian Domain. The planet of Crucis is a large shrine world with the popular trait of being an excellent location for travelers seeking a pilgrimage.

Furthermore, it is also one of the two main planets alongside Atoma that had survived the Age Of Strife, which is described as one of the darkest and most grueling time periods that led to the formation of the largest political entities known as the Imperium.

Messelina Gloriana

According to the description of the homeworld, as shown in the image above, it states that it is a heavily-forested moon that also serves as a minor shrine world. But it also states that Messelina Gloriana suffers from having a low population, and it also doesn’t help with the fact that it has fewer resources, at least compared to other worlds. But that is also essential due to the fall of nearby Komaris.

Rocyria

As shown in the image above, the world of Rocyria produces intensively-farmed and mass-harvested grain crops, which is the main highlight of the world according to the in-game description. It is worth noting that its inhabitants, the ‘Rocyrians’ end up becoming the target of many ridiculous comments by other beings of the Moebian Domain.

However, that ends up becoming far-fetched as the truth is that the entire population of Rocyria is hard-working and sincere in their lifestyle.

Branx Magna

Incron

You can more than likely guess the specialty of this world from its visuals shown in the image above, as the entire core of the planet to its outsides is comprised of water. The population of the world thrives via the Hive islands, and most importantly, Incron is also known as the main naval depot for the Moebian Domain system.

Cadia

According to the in-game description shown in the image above it states that it was “Formerly the Imperium’s most famous fortress world, its fall marked the beginning of the Era Indomitus – The Dark Imperium.”

Mornax

The world called Mornax is a small and grim mining planet that is well-known for its hellish living conditions and the environment. However, it ends up becoming a problem as this harsh living space produces a famously hardy and dour populace.

Pavane

The world of Pavane is relatively new with its colonization, but the most important aspect here is that it is thriving with rich natural resources. It is one of the few reasons why the population of this world is growing steadily.
